New CLL strategy: only add extra drug if cancer persists

NCT ID NCT05650723

First seen Mar 07, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 10 times

Summary

This study tests a personalized approach for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Instead of giving everyone three drugs from the start, participants first receive two oral medications (zanubrutinib and venetoclax). Only those who still have detectable cancer cells after 16 cycles get an additional antibody treatment (obinutuzumab). The goal is to achieve undetectable cancer levels while avoiding unnecessary side effects. About 50 adults with CLL will take part.
